Founded by Clifford Spicer in 1944, Spicer Group began as Spicer Engineering.   An engineer and land surveyor, Spicer started his own firm from his Saginaw home.   This small venture prospered during World War II and further thrived during the enormous growth of the latter part of the century. In the early years, Spicer Engineering provided site development, surveying and the construction of water, wastewater and drainage systems to expanding townships and municipalities.

Dedicated to improving the community, Spicer Engineering assisted the Saginaw area throughout the years. Spicer Engineering continued to grow and expand becoming recognized as leading experts in storm water management and environmental issues. As our services grew, so did our staff, resulting in several moves to larger offices.

In 1994, Spicer Engineering celebrated its 50th Anniversary and was honored by Governor John Engler for its commitment. In an effort to expand our service area in 1997, Spicer Engineering merged with EDI in St. Johns, establishing our St. Johns office.

A year later, Spicer Engineering outgrew its Saginaw office and relocated to our current location on South Washington. Our name also changed with the New Year. Spicer Engineering became Spicer Group, Inc. This name change reflects our commitment to full range engineering, surveying and planning services.

In 2003, Spicer merged with Cass River Land Survey to form Cass River Engineering and Surveying, A Division of Spicer Group in Caro. In 2005, the union became a permanent part of Spicer Group. Later that year, Spicer Group opened an office in Detroit to manage the growing water resources workload in Southeast Michigan.

Spicer Group continues to look for opportunities to assist communities in a wide range of markets which include site development, construction administration and inspection, architecture and landscape architecture, grant writing, geographic information systems and mapping, and bathymetric survey, to name a few.

With our thriving staff of over 110 employees, Spicer Group continues to be a leading engineering, surveying and planning firm. It is our commitment to our clients and the communities we work with to provide stronger, safer and smarter solutions in a rapidly changing environment.
